Very different style; reads like morse code. But, from birth to death we are here to learn lessons. Reading it, you have cut the dross and left only the words that matter. 'Pain rise dust anon?' A wee bit hard in some places but readable in spirit. K xx

Even though it was short with fantastic adjective content, I will say I enjoyed this beginning to ending.
This was well written rich in Theme and Imagery.
It also, read well and Flowed well with no Grammar Issues.

Hi Lea,
This is seems like a free writing exercise. It lists all the thing we humans do in one day. Wow we do a lot. We are truly brave to go through this each day just to gain the wisdom you mention. This poem is a look at life.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Good luck in the contest.
Joan

Your style of poetry is simply amazing. I like the way you hit your point with words, almost rapid fire style. Then you brace the question. The visuals leading the way. Thank you so much for posting your poem. Good luck in the contest. Gretchen

Well, that was a power packed poem. It certainly depicts many of the challenges people face every day. I liked how picked some of the words you used. It made me pause and re-read it several times. The last line brought it all home.

An imaginative and creative write. You truly pack a punch and leave the reader to consider the meaning of each line as you describe life and all it various phases.
There's some nice alliteration in that second stanza.
Best of luck in the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Lea,
You have the voice and clarity of The Poet. Your inner energy and spirit is intoxicating. What great and thought-provoking notes you've written:
"...It takes the bravest souls to live a life on this planet. Gods most negative planet in his vast universe designed to teach us lessons as quick as possible to perfect our souls.....and daring the darkness along the way...." THANK YOU!
Richard

It's original. Avant Garde. A list of words without punctuation that gives a sort of machine-type feel...

Since it's a No Rules Poetry Contest I applaud your s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g
traditional forms...

Still? Somehow I got the meaning! We're born and begin on a "track" and seem to be pushed ahead almost without will or purpose... each day to begin again.

(I'm wondering if you've considered writing some prose pieces. Your author's notes are very cohesive and intriguing!)

Nice effort, with a unique cadence. I'm not familiar with this style, if it is categorized. Yet, I saw the no rules prompt. Good luck if this is for a contest. Also, the picture is great, but I can't quite follow as well as I'd like. The author comments do help. Good luck.
